Changes to App Signing support for iOS Devices

The situation

  • Apple no longer allows creating new App IDs with full wildcards like * or *.*

  • Existing profiles using legacy wildcards still work - for now.

  • These profiles will eventually expire, and cannot be renewed or recreated.

Why this matters

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to transition to profiles using partial wildcards, e.g.: com.*, org.*, co.*, uk.*

Note that Kobiton requires at least one profile configured for and loaded into deviceConnect that has com.*

What you need to do

  • Generate provisioning profiles that cover all the bundle ID formats you use.

  • Import the profiles to deviceConnect and deviceShare, or contact Kobiton Support with the bundle ID of your apps to request profiles for Public devices.

  • A step-by-step guide for specifying a correct identifier for the different bundle ID formats is available.
